The Tribune believes the service | men place their sacrifices to the nation higher | than a $1.00 a day additional pay for those who did not reach foreign soil and $1.25 a day for those ‘who faced fire. These men have not re- duced their devotion to the terms of a bonus, the payment of which at this time will reach down into their pockets in the way. of increased taxes and higher prices. The administration is committed to some policy as regards the debt of the Republic to the men who served, but it hardly finds the proper expres- sion in the proposed bonus bill. THE STA’ | SECRETARY MELLON RIGHT There is an unusual.unanimity in the press of the nation that now is not the accepted time to take action upon the federal Soldiers’ Bonus bill. Secretary Mellon in his letter to Senator Freling- huysen has recited the main objections and whether Senator McCumber who is championing the measure will continue in his fight to have the measure passed over the strenuous objection of President Harding and Secretary Mellon is a mat- ter of interest to the constituents of the senior senator in North Dakota. : The bonus bill as drawn is a menace to the policy of economy to which the Republican administra- tion is committed. Its eager support in certain quarters has no justification outside of political expediency. Even the vote drawing power of such measures may be over estimated by the sen- ators who are pushing the bill in the face of President Harding’s opposition. As Secretary Mellon clearly indicates the pass- age of the ‘bonus measure would fail to benefit those in whose interests it is drawn by increasing the tax load and adding to the cost of living be- sides depressing Liberty bonds. No time should be lost in caring for disabled soldiers. The nation stands ready to finance the care and rehabilitation of the wounded to the limit. There has been too much delay on that score already. Service men who are sound will find it to their advantage to wait. The present bonus measure should be delayed while efforts are redoubled to care for the disabled soldiers and their dependents and to quicken industry so that the service man out of a job may find steady:em- ployment which would mean’ immeasurably more to him than the small sum of relief offered by the bonus bill. FEAR Fear and worry are two of the greatest curses of the human race. If they could be eliminated most, if not ‘all, of the difficulties ‘under which their victims ‘labor, ‘whether real or imaginary, would disappear, The increase in the sum total of happiness: that would follow is beyond: computa- tion. Dr. Barton in ‘a recent article, says that “it is not hard work that kills men.” He adds that he does not remember ever having known a man who ’ worked himself to death, but has knowh many who worried themselves to death. The president of a great eastern university says that in 40 years: but one, of the tens of thousands of students has died from overwork. If there ever was a time that the world needed hard work and clear thinking, it is now. Neither is possible on the part of the individual who is the slave of fear and worry. International shoes are wiped on the diplo-mat. ’ CONGRESS LOAFS President Harding is said to be getting impati- ent because Congress is moving so slowly on the legislation which comprises the administration program. This program, in the main, ,is designed to give the country relief from the industrial and finan- cial depression. It is to be hoped that the report is true and that the president will very soon take the policy of taking the leadership of Congress into his own hands and getting action by exerting. the-power- | ful pressure that is inherent in the presidential office. Among the members of Congress, there’ secms to be no leadership worthy of the name. Whether this is due to‘the lack of individual ability of the | {rather the absence of results, are the same. However great the president’s impatience may be, it is not a patch compared with the impatience | of the tax-burdened public. It goes without saying that this public, irre- 'spective of politics, will-back the president to the| limit, if he will throw down the gage to.the law! ‘makers on capitol hill and compel them to do their plain duty instead of wasting their time in worse ‘than useless wind jamming. , ; | \ | ONE WAY OUT An explorer reports that whole.

This because the present relation of supply and demand in the steel trade makes it unwise to con- tinue manufacturing until that relation is read- justed. That’s not good news. But— ; 2 Fourteen hundred of the ‘seventeen hundred men laid off will be put immediately at work hur- rying construction on the new mills at the steel plant. This because the United States Steel .corpora- tion knows that the present condition is only tem- porary, and it is getting ready for the larger busi- ness that will come as soon as the post-war period of “liquidation” is over. Most of us could take a useful lesson from this. The steel corporation is not a bear on America, | nor is anybody else with comnion sense and a spark of vision. Too many: people, because of a temporary depression that was to be expected, are prone to put on colored glasses and see noth- ing but blue. America is the richest, strongest country in the world. It has a little debt to pay for its recent inflation, and it is paying it. When the bill is paid in full, which cannot be long now, it will go ahead stronger than ever.—Duluth Herald. { : SECRETARY MELLON’S PROTEST Secretary Mellon’s letter to Senator Frelinghuy- sen of New Jersey advising against the passage of the Soldiers’ Bonus bill in the present state of the Treasury and while industry is sitll struggling with war conditions made so little impression up- on Senator McCumber of North Dakota that he gave voice to a “fiery plea” for the measure. It is ‘the same Senator McCumber who, on Jan. 9, 1907, demanded from his place in the Senate the passdge of his service-and-age Pension bill, be- cause “the country now, Mr. President, is wealthy, the Treasury is bursting with its load of coin.” If Senator McCumber were consistent, he would not vote-for the Soldiers’ Bonus bill, because ‘the Treasury now has no “load of coin” and is obliged to resort to all kinds of emergency shifts to meet its obligations as they accrue. Never was it 80 hard pressed for funds. 1 The Senator from North Dakota, who is now serving a fourth term, which will expire two years! hence, cannot read the letter of the Secretary of the Treasury without being made aware, if he does not know it already, that to enact the Sol- diers’ Bonus bill would strain the credit of the country perhaps to the breaking point, and put on the backs of the people a crushing burden without in the end doing the so-called bene- ficiaries any good at all, but rather harm. Secre- tary Mellon, because of his knowledge of finance jand by virtue of his office, is the country’s first authority upon the subject with which he deals in his letter to Senator Frelinghuysen, and it may | be assumed that he speaks the views of President |Harding. Mr. Mellon calculates that the pay- ment of bonuses would call for the expenditure of at least $3,300,000,000, and the total might be |$5,250,000,000. The whole amount paid to war pensioners from 1790 to 1917 inelusive’ was about that sum, that is to say $5,215,525,780. — New York Times. ee \ members or their antiquated rules, the results, or’ Judging by taxes, the last war was fought in} .

Pretty soon they came to the black clouds, but the magic umbrella poked its way through. Out they came on the other side and were away again be- fore the two rowdy fairies knew what had happened.
